Sexual innuendo, signals?

I’m single now after a 22 year relationship and as such I’m back in the “dating game”.

I have much to learn. Help me out if you can by lending your opinion of these following situations…

#1 While getting a haircut, stylist relates that she just got divorced…says that it’s hard to meet good guys…and then makes a comment about how “it’s been a long time”.

#2 Divorced lady at work seems to hang around after work yesterday in order to run into me. Conversation turns to her teenage daughter having recently moved out. Makes comment about how it’s nice to “be able to do things she couldn’t do before”…now that her daughter is gone.

#3 Young lady at work brings me a home-cooked meal for lunch. Also vigorously denies that the guy that she lives with who refers to himself as her finance is really engaged to her…

#4 Mother of my young poker-playing buddy plays cards with us the other night…after the game ends late in the evening, she applies lipstick and squirts a little perfume and then seems to be hanging around waiting to leave when I do…

#5 Young married woman at work for some reason makes it a point to tell me that she is going to be alone this weekend because her husband will be out of town…

I’m probably quite dense. It usually only occurs to me later that these women might want to sexually abuse me… How would you read these situations?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Krispy

Did you post this just to be mean to me?

Dude!, you’re gonna get LAID!

#1 and #2 may not be anything.

#3 is borderline.

#4 and #5 may have some serious booty potential.

Here’s my take on things:

  1. Go for it.

  2. Go for it.

  3. Be amiable, but wait for now. If “fiance” leaves picture, then go for it.

  4. Is she married? If not, then go for it.

  5. Stay the hell away. But be alert for any changes. You may choose to go for it at a later date.

On a serious note, sorry to hear things didn’t work out for you Krispy.

[list=1][]She’s simply inquiring as to whether you know anyone. it’s a well known fact that people in the service industry never get involved with customers. It gets ugly when break-ups occur and you try to continue the business aspect.[]She’s obviously a hobbiest and is wondering if you know any good craft shops. []hsi one is tricky: she might really be gay and looking to you for understanding, mistakign you for a “brother-in-arms” or something; or, she is looking for a threesome and is trying to draw you in, unsuspecting, so that her “roommate” can take advantage of you.[]This one might be a jackpot, thogu if you won money during the game, she might be trying to earn it back, IYKWIM. Be careful with this one, she might be a “pro.”Simple case here, she has housework that need doing and she thinks she can get you to feel sorry for her and offer to assist her.[/list=1]Hope this helped.

The guy bringing jets onto the carrier gives more ambiguous signals. WTF do you think?

I think you first oughtta make sure none of them are soccer fans, K.O. That could have some ugly consequences down the road. I’m kidding, of course.

#2 and #4 look, to me, like your best chances, whether your just lookin’ for something physical, or perhaps something more.

This is how stupid I am…here’s how I reacted:

#1 Sat in stunned silence…tipped well, then left without asking her out…

#2 Nods head knowingly…makes small talk…allows her to walk away…didn’t ask her out

#3 Did nothing…she is 20 years younger

#4 Waited for her to leave so that I could stay behind and smoke a post-game doobie

#5 Logged the info…wondered about the meaning the rest of the night…

I’m pathetic.

  1. Serious nookie potential.
  2. Serious nookie potential.
  3. Run. Run far. “not her fiance”. Yeah, right. However, the whole “homecooked meal” thing was pretty sweet. For a viper. [sub]Okay, I’m making the assumption the guy really is her fiance[/sub]
  4. Serious backseat of car nookie potential.
  5. Tramp. Run.

Remember the old caveat: Men give love to get sex; women give sex to get love.

Not that it’s always true, but I’ll betcha the bulk of these gals are looking for a good stable guy like yourself, not just a little hot-n-sweaty action.

2 and 4 look “real” in the interest department, 1 is a definite maybe, while its true about customer service people She dropped the hint which makes it a whole new ball game.

  1. Likely.

  2. Possible, but don’t fish off your own pier unless you want flounder for dinner for a long time.

  3. Don’t be insane! It’s one thing to fish from your own pier, but when the lake is contaminated by mercury you could have crazy flounder.

  4. Definitely.

  5. Don’t even go there.

oh, this hurts to read! i cant help you one bit. i am in the record books for missing signals (i can only think of one i got- it was pretty explicite). all i can say is, you must be a hunk o’ burning love there, or you stepped in something good. go for 'em (except the last one) and make sure you let us all know how it works out! (only if its good!)

just remembered- i got 2 signals!

If they’re real signals, you’ll get more. Just ride for
now.

And I wouldn’t touch #3 unless she stops living with the
guy, nor #5 unless she gets divorced.

Just get them to talk about themselves then you can decide on their signals. BTW, I wouldn’t date all at once dude.

Well, I have nothing original to add, but I tallied up the replies so far:


    **mb   St   th   UB   BG   C1   SD    b   Tot.**
**1**    0    1    0    0    1    0    1    0    3
**2**    0    1    0    1    1    1    0    0    4
**3**    0    0    0    0   -1    0   -1   -1   -3
**4**    1    1    1    1    1    1    1    0    7
**5**    1   -1   -1    0   -1    0   -1   -1   -4

Positive responses get 1 point, negatives a -1, and neutral, maybe, iffy, or no-answers get 0. You got a clear winner with 4, but stay away from 3 and 5.

Sweet Jesus. Serlin hacked Krispy’s password!

[sub]Good luck, KO. And yeah, avoid talking about football and UFO’s.[/sub]

Thanks for your comments and support. Good stuff.

Just come back and tell us what happens, stud! You owe it to your fans.

(Seriously, after my divorce, a friend of mine pointed out that I would have women crawling over me, because I had a job, a car and was drug-free, and gave me a “Just Divorced” banner for my car on the drive from the courthouse. Well, he wasn’t quite right, but I did get married again within a year, and I’m doing all right :D)

What are these “signals” about? I don’t get it.

I disagree with the other posters here:
#3 is the one!. The other cases described may or may not mean anything, but if a woman brings food for you, she’s after you badly.* That’s what my g/f originally did (after I was too thick to pick up thje more subtle signals).

*It might tend to mean that she wants something serious. Also, the fact that she may be “too young for you” isn’t what I’m talking about here; that’s up to you to decide. I’m just saying that I reckon she wants you.
